🧾 What it does
AppliCad Roof Wizard offers two menu display modes: Simple and Full. The Simple mode hides rarely used or obscure menu functions, making the software especially suited for new users who might be confused with every single menu option being displayed in the Full menu. The Full mode displays all available functions for experienced users who need access to advanced features.

🛠 Menu mode comparison
Mode | Description | Best for |
Simple | Shows only essential menu options, hiding occasionally used or obscure functions | New users, training environments, simplified workflows |
Full | Displays all available menu functions and features | Experienced users, advanced functionality requirements |
💡 Tips for choosing the right mode
Start with Simple mode if you're new to the software. This aids with instruction and learning by reducing visual clutter. Switch to Full mode once you're comfortable with the basic functions and need access to advanced features.
⚠️ Read-Only mode information
If you see Read-Only mode, this is displayed automatically on installed software that is not registered or the available license(s) are already in use by another operator in your organisation.
It provides the capability to review, edit and print reports and proposals. The Roof Wizard may be installed on any number of PCs in the office providing access to everyone in the office in Read-Only mode.
If a full web licence becomes available while in Read-Only mode, a message box appears asking if you wish to switch to 'Full Functionality' mode:
Typically, this would occur if the person using the full license closes out of the program, freeing up the full version for another operator.
